Gamdevi Cricketers win the A Div Kanga Knockout Tournament’19

Into the all important finals of the Kanga Knockout Tournament, Gamdevi Cricketers opting to bat first at Youth’s Own Union Cross Maidan were bundled out for a total of 97 runs in 31.5 overs. Opener Amar Narkar scored 36 runs while Chetan Gharat at no.8 gave a crucial cameo of 36 runs in 35 balls. From the opposition, left arm spinner Arya Ikhe with 3/9 was the pick of the bowlers while the rest of the bowlers also did a good job.

In what was a low scorer thriller, Gamdevi Cricketers made a comeback with the ball after a dismal batting performance as Youth’s Own Union CC were restricted to 96 runs all out. In a nerve wrenching thriller where 2 runs were needed with just a wicket in hand, Nikhil Aigaonkar came up with a breakthrough which was possibly one of the most crucial wickets he must have taken in his career as that wicket helped his team promote to the G Division of Kanga League winning the finals by 1 run. Pankaj Kori with 3/9 also played a crucial role with the ball.

Gamdevi Cricketers team is a Mahindra Logistics team which played in the Kanga Knockouts. Vinod Banda and Nikhil Aigaonkar with 10 wkts each were the leading wicket takers for their team while Aniket Juvekar (210 runs) and Pratik Lad (168 runs) were the highest scorers in the tournament.
